god I really feel like I'm turning into a man by sleeping with people I dont like that much, I have never really done that much before as have always been in a relationship.

lou33 · 26/04/2009 16:21

ive told him to stop pressuring me to be his friend, to talk to him on the phone etc because i dont want to

the show wasnt this weekend, not heard from exex so far today but i have been offered a place to stay overnight next weekend, so may ask if he is free. it will be our final goodbye probably if he is available

thesp also just asked to cook me dinner

i didnt reply

inthemistsoftime · 26/04/2009 16:32

oh lou, you really could do with a bit of pampering, you have been through the mill, I cant believe he is leaving again

I bought my pc in Switzerland so have had a french keyboard, I am getting a bit muddled with the new layout as I have had the french one for 2 years.

I think that when one becomes single again, we realise that we do have needs and as long as you are not harming anyone there is nothing wrong in experimenting.

I think that phase did wear off fairly soon for me as I realised that I prefer to know the man a little better before sleeping with them, although I did enjoy myself trying!

lou33 · 26/04/2009 16:35

i never expected him to stay really, he has so much he wants to do

timing as usual, is the crap thing

MomentaryLapseOfReason · 26/04/2009 16:42

seriousblonde have a look at Hot Relationships by Tracy Cox, it's very good.

notoverit · 26/04/2009 16:49

I think I do prefer to know someone better before sleeping with them to. He just called me to see how I was doing? Ah bless he seems so sweet like he feels bad for taking advantage of me or something, but I did not feel taken advantage of atall.

He asked if I fancy meeting up sometime and I saidyes sounds good. The thing is once you have selpt with someone yu kinda feel like they might be expecting it next time you meet up.

So what is everyone elses situation? Where are you all at with regards to men?

inthemistsoftime · 26/04/2009 18:05

oh I am pleased for you notoverit, someone you already know, how nice.

I have a 2nd date tomorrow in London with marathon man, who I met online. He is fairly hot (in my opinion) however he may be a bit of a player, tomorrow is the time to find out!

I have one other friend (skippy) who I will be meeting in May, he sounds fun, shall wait to see.

The others can fill you in on their situation.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 18:17

momentarylapse thanks for that
strangely enough janos recommended same book to me earlier
has it helped you in anyway?
or was it just a really good read?

Marathon man? So I take it hes doing the marathon? so must be fit sounds good. the thing is with me I only ever seem to be really attracted to players, both of my ex's were cheating lying loosers.

did you meet skippy online?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 18:24

hi notoverit!
well he seems either up for another rpt performance or might actually want to go out with you
who knows what goes thru the remarkable thing known as the male mind lol
i'm still bloody baffled
in my case i've had a couple of relationships since my divorce
rejoined frd in late jan,been out with 3 men since and toyed with idea of seeing others
last weeks hideous experience has put me off big time tho

inthemistsoftime · 26/04/2009 18:30

hiya asbm,

You just need a break honey!

marathon man is not running this year but has run 3 in the past, I have just got into running big time so am impressed with anyone who has run it.

Yes I did meet skippy online, so called cos hes Australian, am looking forward to seeing him next month.

Lying cheating losers, sound familiar

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 18:47

lol i think i do
but hey you know me and this thread of ours i'll be back with more cybermen soon
the liars,cheaters and losers are exactly what i'm looking to avoid
sadly they don't come with a warning attached to them do they?

OP posts:
notoverit · 26/04/2009 18:58

I do think he likes me and is not jut looking for sex. The only problem is I really dont want to get into a relatioship right now so will let him know I am not looking for anything serious. Also I'm not really that into him.

ASBM - what happened last week? sounds interesting....

Inthe - I have always been rubbish at running but in the evenings recently i ha
ve had a strange to go running? But have not so far as i'm home with dd. Were you akways into running or is it somthing you have built up from being rubbish like me?

lou33 · 26/04/2009 18:58

ugh exex is going to be on a boat with his dad all weekend, so we are trying to work out when he can come see me

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 19:08

oh i've more or less tried to go out iyswim
and the last couple of blokes have just left me totally unmoved
last weekend i really had to force myself to go
put it this way if he hadn't have spotted me across the carpark then i would have jumped straight back in my car,and needless to say was home by 11pm which believe you me for me says it all
he was dull,had provided out of date pic,irritated me
and yes mean of me as it is to say
i felt embarrassedto be seen with him
i stood at the bar before we went for dinner and had lots of bemused fellas looking at me with expressions of 'wtf are you doing with him?'
i expect they thought i was only with him for his money lol

lou33 · 26/04/2009 19:16

oh well exex has said his family are away this week and would i like to go down there one night (he is staying at his parents til he goes back next month)

so i am trying to sort out arrangements for my kids for the overnight bit/school run next morning

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 19:26

hope you manage to get something sorted
it's all such a logistical nitemare isn't it?

OP posts:
lou33 · 26/04/2009 19:32

well dd1 is 17 so i could leave her with them overnight as i wouldnt be leaving til evening, and there are people locally for emergencies, but getting ds1/2 to school is the issue

dd1 doesnt start college til 9.45 on the day i am thinking so i would be back by then

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 19:53

fingers crossed for you lou that someone will help out
you obv.got school mum mates for emergencies?

OP posts:
lou33 · 26/04/2009 19:55

there are 3 or 4 people within a couple of mins of mine who could be there in an emergency yes

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 20:07

it's the getting them to school that's a prob isn't it at least it is for me as not everyone has the car space i find
has thesp bowed out there btw?
am hoping that marvel has packed in the sick jokes with RJ here too
theres nothing that pisses me off more when i'm busy then being bombarded on my phone and worse when it's someone i don't want to hear from

OP posts:
lou33 · 26/04/2009 20:18

the school run is not a problem it seems

my friend is going to do it

lou33 · 26/04/2009 20:27

no thesp is messaging still

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/04/2009 20:47

yay what a great friend
at thesp
cant believe he's still at it

OP posts:
lou33 · 26/04/2009 20:54

i feel a bit sorry for him now actually, he has sent so many full apologies, and trying to talk to me about what i am having for dinner etc

i asked him didnt he have more important people to be apologising to, rather than someone he hasnt met yet
